Hello, I am Miss Young. I received the following email. It is a socalled
"Advance Fee Fraud" letter, where I am promised millions for
my assistance. These stories are all lies, and if I respond, sooner
or later I will be asked to pay a fee. If I pay, another fee will quickly
come up, and it will continue that way until I give up or run out of
money. I will never see the millions, because they never existed.

Good Day,

- Good Day, My name is Dr.THOMAS BROWN, the manager credit
and foreign bills of MBC INTERNATIONAL BANK LIMITED [MBC LTD]. I am writing in
respect of foreign customer of my bank with account number 14-255-2004/bbng/t
who died in a plane crash (Ethiopian airline 961) with other passengers
abroad.Since the death of this customer, I personally have watched with keen
interest to see the next of kin but all has proved abortive as no one has come
to claim his funds of us$155m (ONE hUNDRED AND FIFTY FIVE Million, United
States Dollars) which has been with my bank for a very long time. On this note
I decided to seek for whose name shall be used as the next of kin as no one
has come up to be the next of kin. In view of this I got your contact through
my country's foreign trade mission after I was convinced by providence that
your name could be used as the next of kin. The request of the foreigner as a
next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a
foreigner and business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a
foreigner and I cannot stand as the next of kin to a foreigner. I agreed that
40% of this money will be for you as a foreign partner in respect of providing
a new bank account or we can use your old account information, while the rest
will be for me, thereafter, I will visit your country for disbursement
immediately you received the funds which i will used forinvestment in your
country or any of your choice as a partner. Therefore, to facilitate the
immediate transfer of this fund to your account as arranged, please send your
private telephone number, and fax number easy communication and location where
the money will be remitted. Upon the receipt of your reply, I will send you by
fax or e-mail the application the next step to take.I will not fail to bring
to your notice that this business is hitch-free and that you should not
entertain any fear as the whole required arrangement has been made for the
transfer. You should contact me immediately formore details regarding this
transaction.Trusting to hear from you. DR THOMAS
